To achieve maximam integrated luminosity at the SLAC Linear Collider, a method of noninvasive beam tuning is required . Traditional luminosity monitors based on Bhabha scattering are inadequate because of low instantaneous counting rates. Coherent deflections of one beam by the electromagnetic field of the other are sensitive not only to the relative steering of the two bunches but also to thei...

Injection molding is an important manufacturing process for optical and mechanical components. The hard steel dies used in this process play a direct role in the quality of molded parts. Traditionally, fabricating these dies involved rough milling followed by heat treatment, grinding, and polishing to the desired shape. Recently, high-speed machining of heat-treated steel (hardness > 55 Rc) has...

This paper investigates the effects of nonlinear large deflection bending on the aerodynamic performance and aeroelasticity of a high aspect ratio flexible wing. A nonlinear large deflection theory is developed for aeroelasticity to account for large deflection bending. An analysis is conducted to compare the nonlinear bending theory with the linear bending theory. The results show that the non...

Optical packet-switched (OPS) network is a strong candidate for the future Optical Internet. In this paper, we study packet aggregation and deflection routing as employed in OPS networks on the performance of upper layer Internet protocols represented by TCP and UDP. Regarding packet aggregation schemes, we study no aggregation, mixed-flow aggregation, and per-flow aggregation. Our results show...

Introduction: It is believed that Locus Coeruleus (LC) influences the sensory information processing. However, its role in cortical surround inhibitory mechanism is not understood. In this experiment, using controlled mechanical displacement of whiskers we investigated the effect of phasic electrical stimulation of LC on response of layer V barrel cortical neurons in anesthetized rat. Methods: ...

We present and evaluate a wavelength assignment and deflection routing scheme for contention resolution in burst switched photonic networks in this work. By combing deflection routing and Priority-based Wavelength Assignment (PWA) together and making them compatible with each other, we show the improved performance of deflection routing-compatible PWA through simulation results.

IN DIRECT LEADS obtained through a small electrode attached to the epicardium, there is a nearly perpendicular return of the R wave from its peak to the base line. This intrinsic deflection marks the extinction of the electric potential of the small core of ventricle to which the electrode is applied. In precordial leads, where a relatively large electrode is at a considerable distance from the...

We have determined the relativistic light deflection of the quasar J0842+1835 as Jupiter passed within 3.7 on 2002 September 8, by measuring the time delay using the VLBA and Effelsberg radio telescopes at 8.4 GHz. At closest approach, General Relativity (GR) predicts a radial (static) deflection of 1190 μarcsec, and tangential (retarded or dynamic) deflection in the direction of Jupiter’s moti...

OBJECTIVE To compare the deflection load characteristics of homogeneous and heterogeneous joints made by laser welding using various types of orthodontic wires. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four kinds of straight orthodontic rectangular wires (0.017 inch × 0.025 inch) were used: stainless-steel (SS), cobalt-chromium-nickel (Co-Cr-Ni), beta-titanium alloy (β-Ti), and nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti). Homogene...
